Scary Skinny Rachel Zoe Beach Photos
January 8th, 2010 by Rian | Filed under Rachel Zoe, Scary Skinny, Skinny Celebrities.Here are the Rachel Zoe photos that everyone has been asking for! (They were exclusives so they took a little longer to get ahold of). Rachel – stylist to the stars – posed for photographers on the beach in St. Barts earlier this week, looking scary skinny…

Wow! Her chest bones are sticking out and her arms appear to be very frail. The way she is posing only makes her look thinner…
What do you all think?

love her!
I think the same delusional people calling Cheryl Burke fat probably think Rachel Zoe is fit & healthy because she’s so tiny.
omg she looks horrible. I seriously hope nobody here “envies” her body. She’s one of the skinniest woman I’ve seen on here aside from Allegra Versace.
She also looks like Rene Zelwegger(the face)
She needs HELP and I really hope she gets it! She is starving to death and she looks absolutely terrible. I want to see her get healthy.
You got to be kidding,right? If anyone seriously thinks her body is perfect then I think you’ve got issues. She looks sick! I’m all for tall and skinny, but this is just disguisting
My God!! Horrible!!!! She looks great with clothes, without…no words…I think too that she is starving to death!!! Poor woman!!! I love skinny and very skinny girls but this is horrible!!!
omg everybody who thinks she’s pretty and has got a perfect body needs some help too! i’m sorry i’m not trying to be mean, but girls and boys, this is NOT healthy at all and i think this is not pretty as well..but thats just my opinion. please everyone who wants to look like this or already looks close to this, get some help..
I love her. She seems so normal and professional on the show. It makes me sad to see that clearly there are issues going on here.
Wow. Now THAT’S skinny!
FRIGHTENING!!!
Lmao.
Scary Old looking!
she looks sickly. nothing but bones. it just makes her look old and haggard. no nutrients to keep her skin and hair healthy. nothing about those pictures looks good.
i really hope no one truly aspires to look like her. there is nothing stylish, sexy or beautiful about her size whatsoever. she can barely be eating anything and it’s very worrying.
Please note that I will be deleting pro-ana and/or excessively negative comments from this thread! Those of you talking about your ED’s or calling her ‘nasty’ or ‘disgusting’, please go read the comment rules. Thanks!
Whoa! She looks very sickly and you can see every one of her rib bones. I’m curious as to what her stomach looks like and why she is hiding it. This picture is very reminiscent of that scary skinny Nicole Richie beach photo. It’s a good thing they parted ways and Nicole gained the much needed weight.
Hahahaha, I mean, I understand we all have different beauty standards but we can see her ribs! Not cute, not healthy, specially when we’ve all heard how she recommends her clients unhealthy methods to be skinny.
Isn’t she going through a divorce or something? Whatever it is, the answer isn’t gonna magically pop into her brain when the scale reads 70 pounds… :/ hope she gets help.
OMG!So horrible… eat zoe, please!!
i take that ‘love her’ comments are meant as especially sarcastic humor?
She isn’t skinny. She is deathly!
o…m…g!! this is downright disturbing if i saw someone onn the beach who looked like this i would think she was dying of a terminal illness..annd she’s posing in the pictures like she wants to appear even thinner…delusional and sickly!!!
this is not ok! she really needs to get some help, i wonder if anyone in her life is trying…
Oh my…Not attractive. Eat 100 Big Macs please. I’m all for thin and toned, but she’s frail bones.
WOW. I knew she was skinny, but this is scary!!
i really like her as a person (or as she appears on her show). these photos make it almost impossible for her to deny that she has a problem. just because some one has a problem, that doesnt mean they cant be loved or liked. i do NOT think this is anywhere near where she should be weight/size wise obviously. is she a good role model? no. but shes a funny woman who clearly needs some help.
I think there is a misprint regarding her age. If this woman is 38, Elvis is alive and well enjoying some R ‘n R in the tropics.
She looks about as old as Elvis would be today had he lived (75) (Happy birthday, Elvis). Actually, strike that. She looks like Elvis probably looks NOW.
She is one good reason to look at the New Years posts again. I feel so sorry for her.
Love her! And absolutely love her show. Wish she would learn to embrace and love herself a bit more though… She obviously has underlying demons
I’ve seen her show. She’s brilliant and very fashionable. But there’s obviously an eating problem here…
Looking at the horror of her upper body thank god her bottom halfs all covered up !
It is so frightening, you can easily count her ribs!
Is she wearing a trash bag?
Even worseskinnier than the famous nicole richie beach photos when she was at her thinnest..:/
Shame, poor woman.
worse/ skinnier
Bad with clothes on, and bad without clothes on, wouldn’t want her as a stylist.
So sad…
Also, I guarantee you the percentage of men out there who find this look attractive is very, very, very small (read: nonexistent).
Poor woman. I hope she gets help.
Truthsayer, you made me spit my diet coke out all over my monitor. I do love Rachel Zoe and she has fabulous style but she might want to eat a bit more. I bet cold climates are nearly impossible for her to tolerate.
At least she is not jogging.
Wow she is TINY!! She looks very unhealthy!! She needs to gain 20 lbs to look better.
Why would she let herself get so sickly? Does she like looking like a skeleton?
I love her too, but woooow..
Dear lord.
She is so obviously ill and the fact that she is posing like she thinks she is sexy or stylish is……I don’t even know the word. I guess frightening describes it.
I hope she gets help.
This is frightening. Her weighing so little actually ages her. I would put her BMI near the emaciated category- around 15-15.7. Does this sound about right?
I really hope she gets help; she can’t be healthy.
I find it strange how she reveals her skeletal upper body but covers up her bottom. So, she’s proud of her top but self-conscious of her bottom or her lower half’s worse than her top? If that’s the case, that is sick to the lowest degree.
where’s the beauty in that? she looks like she can barely stand up straight. poor thing.
Her body looks scary skinny but her face is really puffy, like Zellwegers´. It´s the expession on her face that tells its own story. I´ve never seen her smiling or laughing. Why is she hiding her lower body half ?
yikes, woman, get some help, seriously.
She needs help!
wow.. she is a walking zombie..
Wow! Thats aweful!
She needs help pronto, bevore she dies…
Now THIS is what I call scary skinny. And it is NOT pretty at all. Anyone who likes her body needs help. So does Rachel.
Maybe this is a cry for help…it should be.
I love her and the show. I think she has great style but this is really sad. I hope she can regain control of her health.
Best wishes RZ:)
She looks like a corpse.
Most definitely anorexic. Nobody can look like this ‘naturally’. I am a big fan of ’slim’ and ’slender’ but the skeletal look is so grossly unattractive, not to mention extremely unhealthy.
Way too thin! She looks sickly!
that is truly frightening. the women needs help.
Oh wow she looks aweful. Her thinness only goes to make her look so so much older.
way to delete my post lol i actually had something helpful to say other than “she looks great i wish i looked like her!” i think im done with this blog, you never delete the comments of people supporting people with OBVIOUS eating disorders but you delete comments where people criticize the lifestyles of so-called role models.
Its like an accident: you dont want to look, but you just have to…
i know hollywood is all about looking as skinny as possible but seriously.. isn’t there a limit? how can u look at yourself in the mirror and think this looks good? i think this woman really needs help..
Tbh…I don’t really understand all the fuss made about Rachel Zoe’s weight. There are many disturbingly skinny celebrities. She doesn’t always look THAT bad, just when she’s flashing her bones, and that’s obviously what she’s doing here. Some people just have their chest bones sticking out, I know that from my own experience (I am not deathly skinny).
I’m not saying that she is HEALTHY, I’m actually convinced she is bulimic, which is not a laughable matter.
But to me, she doesn’t look like she’s dying, at least in comparison to other celebrities.
I adore her, but she needs to gain some weight!!!
i adore her arms! as outer worldly gooooooorgeous as miranda’s!
I wonder what she looks like under her wrap. She reminds me of Nicole Richie a couple of years ago.
Wow she needs help
I believe body dismorphia is happening here. She must not “see” how scary skinny she is. These reminded me of Nicole Ritchie’s old pictures too. I hope she sees these pics and wants help. You can’t force people to recover from any addiction. They have to want it. I think the skeletal craze wont end until someone famous dies. I hope not though! She seems sweet on her show.
Does anyone know how she’s still surviving? I mean, I’m shocked we haven’t heard about any “Rachel Zoe rushed to the hospital”, maybe when we do it’ll be too late. Sigh.
i think if you look at her body and see anything else besides a SEVERELY emaciated woman, than you yourself need to reevaluate your standards of health. I would not be surprised at all if Rachel’s malnutrition results in untimely heart failure and the early onset of osteoporosis…she needs to be placed in a rehab facility ASAP or I doubt that she will be able to enjoy a full life. so sad.
Now THIS is what scary skinny looks like. She looks to be beyond an ED and is deathbed territory. She needs help. And fast.
I think she’s wearing a coverup because she knows that she is shockingly thin
Chest bones sticking out like that is NOT attractive in the least.
feel sorry for her, she cant possible be happy even if she is smiling, i think this looks just sad, and i think no women should ever look like this
I feel so sad for her
Oh, I really like her, it’s sad to see she’s so unwell. I hope she gets help soon.
Now here is someone with a problem!! And that sarong she has on COVERING EVERYTHING UP makes me think even she know it! I hope she gets help.
she is so obviously eating disordered…
she’s at the beach and posing to make her arms look skinnier.. she’d hiding her bottom half which is probably slightly bigger than her top half. you always see her cleverly styled to downplay her bottom half…
cmon..
Frightening
what kind of pose is that? She needs a sandwich and a hug.
i am a big fan of her.
sad to see her so frail looking – her chest area is horrible
I love this woman but whoa. I am blown away by this. Wow. I’m scared she’s going to disintegrate into nothing right now…
I seriously would put her BMI at a 12.5.
I’ve never thought of her as being really pretty or anything but when you see photos of her fully clothed I have to admit I do think she looks great.
Seeing her like this however is so sad, there’s clearly something going on there as I think she’s thin to the point of looking like she’s about to collapse. I hope she gets some help soon.
OK…NOW EVEN I THINK THAT IS TOO SKINY AND I AM A PICKY ONE! I REALLY HOPE SHE GETS HELP
I love RZ however she is a skeleton
she is sooo thin!!
its not beautiful anymore!!
haha,where are her boobs??
Whoever said they loved her (Zoe’s) arms and Miranda Kerr’s is crazy. Their arms are frail and very pathetic looking. I had no idea Rachel Zoe was so sick, I feel bad that everyone calls her raisin face, it probably furthers her self esteem problem.
I love her!!!! She just needs to work out them she would love her body and eat some veggies and nut. Get better Rachael
. Your so cute!!
Ew
She’s great at what she does so kudos to that. I especially don’t know how she does it with that kind of health. I really hope she’ll attempt recovery. She needs to or will die seriously soon.
I don’t watch her show (I didn’t even know she had one!) but I think she is a fantastic stylist with great taste.
I think these pictures prove that skinny does not always mean gorgeous.
From a man’s point of view… Cheryl Burke looks hot. This is, in every aspect, revolting.
Oh my gosh this is so sad! I started liking her once I saw her show and I love her style but this is truly scary skinny. @Connie I think you’re probably right about the body dismorphia — she probably still thinks she’s fat and that’s why she’s covering up her body. Poor RZ – someone help her!
The sad thing here is that I think she is acutally posing to make herself look skinnier. It’s like she doesn’t think she is skinny enough… She’s thinking “if I just suck this in and stick that out I will look skinnier” So Sad! Hope she gets help.
Yikes on a different note. Hope she doesn’t lose any of her jewelery in the surf. That’s looks like some expensive Bling for the beach.
In previous interviews, Rachel has commented that she wished coffee had vitamins. Why? Because she doesn’t want to eat, it’s that simple. Her sister has the same tiny body and puffy face, so I don’t think Rachel is bulemic, she’s anorexic, she just doesn’t eat. She’s so far gone that she didn’t even try and hide it on her show, time and time again you’d see scenes where everyone around her is eating, and she’s sitting there. I think in the 2 seasons of her show I’ve only seen her eat a strawberry. she said she’s not a “lady who lunches” but there’s way more going on…
She probably is pear-shaped, and is more normal-sized on the bottom, but she’s starving herself to create a look that’s more proportionate, which is horrible. They make bigger clothes, and they make smaller coffins. Which do you want to be in, Zoe?
look at the sick look on her face and by sick i mean shes like oh i look wonderfull every girl wants to be me
take a look rene zelwegger, this is you if you don’t start eating food (and coffee isn’t food)… yikes, she needs help!
Ewww! Poor lady, serious image disorder she has there.
well, maybe there´s something to Nicole Richie´s comment that she practically live off of a few asparagues a day…. in either case, she does NOT look good.
thats not even a little bit attractive… my lord cover up women, or EAT something please!!
Seeing this makes me so happy to be a normal, healthy weight. I often dislike my weight, but its healthy.
Rachel Zoe’s weight is not healthy. This is scary.
I can see the attachment of her ribs to the sternal bone..OMG, what an anatomical model!
She’s the definition of emaciated.
Okay, Rian, THIS is what “scary skinny” looks like. Miranda Kerr – thin, not scary skinny. This look screams eating disorder.
this woman is very, very sick.
Oh good grief, what is this woman doing to herself! I feel so so so sad for her, she must live a hideous existance, she looks on the verge of death to me. I wish someone would get her help, she has so much to live for, but she won’t have a chance of living into her 40’s if she carrys on maintaining such a low weight. Poor woman
I can’t comment on any areas of her body, to me it’s a dying woman.
Now THAT is scary skinny! Poor lady.
If that’s not scary skinny I don’t know what is! I work in an eating disorders hospital and she looks more unhealthy than some of the patients we get. There’s definitely something wrong for her to be so bony.
Hmm I’m not sure what we are allowed to say that fits with this picture. I can not bring myself to say anything positive, I think saying positive things about a woman with a body like this is a problem. I don’t know how anyone finds this attractive.
THIS IS AN EXTREME CASE OF EXCESSIVE WEIGHT LOSS BY DEHYDRATION WHICH IS WHY HER BONES ARE STICKING OUT. I HOPE SHE IS NOT DOING ANY HOLLYWOOD CRAZY THING TO BE SLIM. ITS KILLING PEOPLE OFF…INCLUDING ACTORS AND ACTRESSES…… TAKE A CUE LADY…PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES BY TAKING AND MIXING ALL SORTS OF CLEASNING PRODUCTS THAT DEHYDRATE AND KILL…. STARTING FROM NIKKY TO THE LATEST ONES… IF ONLY Y’ALL COULD SEE THEIR TRUE MEDICAL RECORDS….HOLLYWOOD IS A BLOOD SUCKER…..
shhhhh! be careful what you say, she could be in the room- standing sideways…
love her style, but seriously, a burger wouldn’t kill her.
@MS, Nicole Richie never looked like this. She has a smaller bone structure. Rachel is a medium built.
She looks like Allegra Versace
The posing to look like a model is the scariest part of these photo’s. I know someone who is in Rachels circle and said that a few weeks before her vacation to St Barts she drank only coffee and ate nothing all to look good in a bathing suit. Frightening.
And, she is insecure of her bottom half often complaining that it’s her problem area, meaning she feels she gains all her weight there.
The top part of Rachel is exactly what happens to a body after years of starvation. Wasted away.
By the way, Rachel was born in 1961, not 1971. She’s been lying about her age for years. She’s 49 this year.
That woman is in desperately need of some help!! It is awful that she is some sort of rolemodel for teenagers, making them believe that deadly thin is how you are suppose to be.
Thanks for the lesson sonomom.
She never looks this thin is clothes, so I am shocked by these pictures. I hope she eventually manages to find a balance between her looks and her health, because neither seem to be doing too well out of whatever she’s doing at the moment.
Whoa. Holy cow. Now, I like a skinny frame – but Rachel’s ridiculously and unhealthily thin! That’s just waaaaaay too skinny. That’s downright skeletal! I hope someone’s strong enough to tell her that she needs to eat something and get healthy.
These pics are vomit inducing.
Despite her age (bones get more prominent) and the fact she’s apparently ‘bottom heavy’ (hahaha) i’d say she’s well into the emaciated cateogory – maybe BMI 14ish. I’ve seen models with BMIs around the 15 mark and they DO NOT look like this.
Anyway I like the woman and I hope she can get some help – the fact that she’s showing off the boniest part of her makes me wonder if she even realises how emaciated she looks.
It’s a mystery to me how she is even able to function. I hope with her being a fashion icon and all that impressionable teenagers will not start thinking that her appearance is normal. To me this is more than anorexic, this is BDD, plain and simple.
Bad career move
(yah, I don’t buy that she’s ill, just superficial)
she looks sick and emaciated and seems proud of it. sad what our society has come to:-(
Omg her chest looks terrible!
I think she would benefit from some weight training (& food to support the training), so she would at least has some muscle there.
WOAH!!! my gosh this is definitely the skinniest she’s been… I wonder if she is intending to lose more? =O
That looks horrible. SO BAD! Even WORSE than ANY skinny model I’ve seen on the catwalk or “thinspo” sites. How does anyone with friends/people around them get that bad, you would think people would tell her how bad she looks. She is probably the “skinny fat” type body and thinks being this thin is the only way to look good. She needs to gain 7-10lbs of healthy weight and muscle by doing a LITTLE BIT of exercise and less drugs/coffee.
These make me so sad. She clearly needs help.
Brittany Murphy just died due to complications of anorexia. She is very very thin and obviously sick. I wouldnt doubt that a lot of the celebs that we see look like this without their clothes on though. Then we all jump on people like Mischa Barton for gaining a bit of weight.
bananas! eat them.
Carly, passerbee was being sarcastic, am pretty sure of it, and in fact, I haven’t read one single post that said Rachel was at a good weight, some people on this site might be a bit deluded, but they’re not that far gone. Or Rian has done a hell of a job screening the comments.
Btw, I totally agree with LucaBella, she looks slightly more normal-sized on the bottom and probably tries to diet it away. I suspect Keira Knightly is trying to do the same, though she looks better at the moment and was obviously never as scarily thin as Rachel.
EW!
she looks like gollum
Scary to look at. I highly doubt she is naturally anywhere near that thin, and if she does have a disease I sincerely hope she gets the help she needs.
She has nice arms, but that’s about it. She would really look nice if she gain at least 10 -20 pounds.
Sad. I hope she doesn’t trip and fall – she surely has osteoporosis and can easily break a bone.
Unfortunately, she has lost a youthful appearance. As people get older, they lose muscle if they don’t work to maintain it. In her case, she’s lost most of her muscle mass and is left with a frail looking frame. To me, her body type resembles an elderly woman in her 80’s. She would benefit from working out, and eating natural foods full of vitamins and nutrients. She can stay lean and look better if she changes her diet and activities. Does anyone else think osteoperosis when they see her? She’s wonderful, but misguided.
Okay, hard as it is to momentarily set aside her extreme and disturbing emaciation – what on earth is she wearing?
Isn’t she a stylist to the stars? Time to represent.
that pictures are what should be next to the word “anorexcia” on the dictionary
She is definitely way too thin, looks sick. What bothers me though is that I have to wonder how she would look like if she just stood up straight and wore a push up. And showed her lower half as well. Not very different from a lot of other skinny celebrities, maybe just older and saggier. But N. Ritchie was on this scale of thin, K. Bosworth… and there are others..
first thing I thought of was those old photos of nicole ritchie running on the beach where you could see every rib in her chest. this is very sad, makes you wonder how enjoyable her life can be if eating so little – an assumption I know but seriously, how much food can this woman be taking in to be this emaciated?
Please donate your FOOD to starving children in Africa. you look like them by willfully starving yourself. HERE IS TO ALL INSANELY DIETING ACTRESSES…SOMEBODY NEEDS YOUR FOOD…JUST SWITCH MEALS…VERY EASY…SEND THEM ALL THE BURGERS AND RICE AND BREAD, SWEETS AND CHOCOLATES, ETC…THAT WAY YOU ARE GIVING BACK AND PUT SOME MEANING INTO YOUR LOOKS..
Very sad. Hope she gets help soon.
“do these bones make me look fat?”
ha.
RE: Concerned — That is rather rude and insensitive of you to say. You act as though eating disorders are not diseases… as if these people who are so obviously afflicted with them CHOSE to do so.. and that is not the case. You are ignorant if you think it is.
I’m all for skinny, but she looks so ill. It’s sad to see, and she OVBIOUSLY has an eating disorder..I hope she gets the help she needs.
This is insane! How can she even stand up? I don’t know much about her, but she really needs help. This is such a shame.
Hideous face!
I really hope she gets help soon she looks so ill
Wow she looks horribly unhealthy. :/ I already knew she was bony, but this is really scary. She should just EAT, and eat healthily and try to exercise (once she gains a considerable amount of weight, that is). I cant imagine what she must exist on. I’ve watched her show many times, and she never eats…just drinks a lot of coffee, not that it’s surprising.
I totally agree with Sofia that she looks like an elderly lady. Her skin has lost all elasticity due to poor nutrition. This is an example of skinny not looking healthy!
poor racehl zoe. i hope we dont hear about her in the news and her early death bc of a heart condition, or something. i hope she gets help soon, and that she gets better <3
I think the only part of her that looks bad is her chest. If she could gain 10 lbs she’d look fabulous.
I think that fact that she looks insanely older than she is is a sign that she is sick. Being that skinny must be hard on her heart.
I can’t believe Bravo is supporting this woman and putting her on TV when she is clearly suffering from an eating disorder. I think they too should be responsible for supporting this unhealthy behavior to the masses (i.e being too skinny/anorexic/not eating anything but coffee, etc.)
wow… when i saw these pictures i was really thinking they were going to be exposed as photoshopped…
i am rooting for her health and emotional/physical well being. get the help you need.
You can also tell by the way she stands that she still thinks she’s not thin enough. In every pic she poses with her arms in a way they look their thinnest
Sad! I hope she beats her demons and overcomes-this is no where near healthy.
LOL at the Elvis comments, made my night!
@sonomom I totally agree. I don’t like when certain actresses get labeled “scary skinny” when they’re just thin but for Rachel Zoe, she definitely fits the part.
my eyeeeeeeeeeees!!!
nonononononoNO this is not cute, healthy, or remotely OK. please get some real help!
Oh my..she looks so unhealthy. I mean I have seen people with more weight on in hospitals for eating disorders.. how sad for her and her family.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE RACHEL but the poor girl needs to eat!!!
holy crap!! Why is she all hunched over?! So looks like an old woman!! face of death…..ugh, so nasty, It’s actually really sad.
There are already so many comments on this post and im sure theres more to come. Im thinking record breaking post!
@ RECONCERNED: I agree and back you up a hundred percent. This isnt just about being skinny she obviosuly has a problem.
I really dont know what to say…im speechless…she looks like she has one foot in the grave. These pictures are literally making me shake. I hope she gets help before its too late. She so talented as a stylist
i couldn’t even look for more than a split second because i felt physically sick
OH my god. Please get her help
yes this pose makes here looking thinner
maybe she is pearshaped and wants to fake wider shoulders
i hope she is clean
She looks really old and haggard because she’s so thin. It’s really appauling when somebody feels the need to look like that in order to gain attention.
She could do to lose some more weight!
Nah, just kidding, not my style anyway, but she doesn’t look too healthy (to state the obvious).
Poor girl. Im sure she knows how bad her health is. She probably decided to take a day off work and to get away from her stressful thoughts but she can’t even go to the beach in peace without being scrutinised.
I could grate cheese on those chest bones :S
err.. guys. she likes and admires how she looks,
jeez
I’m not into this.
@glow,same thought!!;)
This is so scary to me, she is so unhealthy and I’m not sure how long she can live her life like that. I’ve never seen her show but someone needs to help her ASAP! I’m so glad most people are on the same page about this!
ouch.. she does look scaaaaary skinny. This is really unhealthy, hope she’ll get better once
I believe you Dascoop. When her show first came on I told my DH.. no way is that lady younger then me and Im 46! Granted when your too thin it will def age you.. I do love Rachel and I love her show. I just find this extremely sad…I bet this is a normal way of life for her
i know you can’t trust tabloids and what they write, but after seeing these pictures i totally believe a tabloid story i read about her being on set once and only drinking black coffee and eating a grapefruit, the whole day. her chest looks the most disturbing. the arms aren’t too bad, just the chest
ps, do u reckon that half the reason it looks so much worse than say, when nicole richie was a twig is because she’s that little bit older and like her skin is perhaps getting a bit saggy.
her skin is visibly unhealthy and ashy, her hair is brittle, her face is puffy… all the tell-tale signs.
what’s the most sad to me about all of this is that Rachel Zoe has been fluctuating around this shockingly low weight for as long as she has been in the so-called “limelight”. does anyone remember a time where she didn’t look emaciated?
given her age, I can’t imagine how the girl remains to stay physically “healthy”. A body can only go on so long this way – malnourished and starving. if she still hasn’t gotten help, or been able to heed it, then the sad reality here is that RZ will probably never get better… and she will live the rest of her life this way – subsisting on cigarettes and coffee (which she has openly admitted to) and playing slave to her own largely disturbed body image.
i wish her the best and hope that those around her will atleast attempt to get her well.
I think her arms look nice at least.
I’d put her BMI at like 13-15, hard to tell. I hope she gets help :C
She is a talented woman, but it is pretty obvious there is something wrong health-wise…
@ sonomom
you dont have to look like this to have an eating disorder.
im pretty positive miranda kerr isnt healthy even though she doest look too thin to me or most people
One word: SICK!!!
What I find most fascinating about these photos is that she seems to have no idea how she looks, and ironically, she’s a stylist. (but I guess that’s part of having body dysmorphia, you can’t see how your body really looks, good or bad) I mean, she knows to cover up her lower half (I imagine that’s pretty bad, too), but the top…if she’d just worn a style that covers her chest a bit, something that crosses in the front, it wouldn’t be such a mess. And a stylist should know this, right? That string bikini top just emphasizes everything that’s wrong…there are other photos where she had this wrap twisted over one shoulder, and she looked very elegant and slim, but it hid the rest.
everyone is a psychologist arent they?
she was born in 1962.
she’s basically screaming for help.
I like her show and think she is a very talented stylist, but seriously…no one looks like this “naturally.” I mean her head is bigger than her waist for crying out loud! She could gain 20 lbs and still be very slim. I really hope she gets the help she so clearly needs before it is too late. Models and others have died of eating disorders, and they didn’t even look as underweight as RZ does here. What really drives me nuts is how on her show she was going to the doc for heart palpitations, nausea, and dizziness, and she blamed stress. HELLO?! Could it be the fact that she looks like she hasn’t eaten since the Clinton administration? Jeeze…
Wow! Skinny!
thanks sian ^^
and carly, i totally understand that you expected the worst delusional stuffs to be read on here and that’s why you didn’t recognize the irony at first glance.
DAMN!!!! i secretly want to look like this! i just can’t get off the booze and chocolate covered cherries!
Why do women do this to themselves? Why do they want to take up so little space?
I like Rachel Zoe and her show, but she is destroying her body and the sad thing is that she probably doesn’t even see it. This is way too skinny and extremely unhealthy, anyone who would want to look like this needs counseling as does Rachel Zoe. And the photographer probably made her wear that wrap because her body looked too disfigured. People with bodies like this end up having major health problems and usually die earlier than they would had they lived a healthy life. I don’t even know why she would agree to do a photo shoot looking like this, the only thing I can think of is that she is in complete denial.
SAD…SAD….SAD
Rachel is definitely eating disordered. If, as mentioned, she exists on coffee & a grapefruit for her daily intake…unbelieveable. Nicole (Richie) was boney, scary skinny but Nicole has a very petite bone structure. Rachel is not as petitely boned as Nicole.
Rachel looks like someone from the concentration camps (back when the Jewish people were being starved, persecuted & exterminated in death camps)! She looks like she could go into cardiac arrest at any second. She looks “terminal” like somone who may have gone thru chemo (for cancer)! Her posture reminds (me) of Mary-Kate (Olsen)…she was so hunched over at her worst. M-K still does hunch but not quite as badly now. Rachel was on The View about a month ago & she had a coat-dress on and was covered from her neck nearly down to her lower legs (like just above her shoes). It was obvious she was concealing her skeletal body. @Jade …agree w/you…she is very “Allegra Versace-ish”! Someone mentioned that Rachel should workout w/weights for toning/adding muscle. I don’t think she has the strength to even hold a weight or weights much less try to work out w/them.
I’m not convinced she is exactly posing. When someone is this thin, there’s not enough muscles surrounding the organs and spine to enable you to stand up straight. However, she may be exagerating it.
In any case, I wonder how many more “stars” will die before the people around them get them help. RZ obviously has something going on and an intervention is greatly needed.
I would bet her BMI is around 13-14…
That’s attractive–not! Sad. Does she really think this looks good? If so, she needs help.
This woman looks so ill. I really wonder if she would look worse or better if she showed her lower half though… I bet she would look much healthier, if that’s what she thinks of as her “problem area”.
Wow.. there really IS such a thing as too thin.
I don’t say this too often because I love thin people, but…I’d rather be me at my 5′7 130 – I know – big as a houseboat to some of you.
the only other thing i find disturbing is that she is a hollywood stylist, she sets trends and dresses and gives advise to the celebs, obviously she is not exactly a great role model for the young actresses in hollywood to follow, she was nicole ritchies stylist when she was at her thinnest as well as jessica alba when she was bordering on scary skinny.
Scary skinny. She does look like Renee Zellwegger in the face.
I agree — poor woman. She looks awful.
@ ERIN i agree the fact that shes older and underweight doesnt help her look any healthier. All the sagging skin makes her look worse.
Glad to see everyone is saying how horrible she looks and no one is praising her for looking like this!
Oh my, I don’t like her that much but right now I feel very sorry for her. Someone should get her help :/
this is the woman telling young beautiful girls what to look like. she looks deathly.
SAGGY skin on bones. Chain smoking, no exercise & poor diet does this.
She’s clearly anorexic, she doesn’t have body dismorfic disorder, it’s a diffrent disease (DSM IV).
I would like to know where here husband is in all of this, why isn’t he making her get help. I’ve seen this thing before, where the husband just keeps his mouth shut about it. But he should make her understand she’s very sick, he’s probleply the only one who can make her see.
This is heartbreaking. But…does she think this looks good? Why is she in a bikini? A cry for help, maybe?
so chat.. but seriously did she walk around the beach with her hand on her hipbones..
dude check her face, she has bulimic cheeks…
rachel zoe, wake the eff up ..
Eating disorder at its finest. Shame on the Bravo Network for giving such a sick woman a television show. They should have sent her to a clinic first to get well. Its a shame and waste of a talented woman. She is my age and looks twice as old as I do!
And she is 38…not 48 (someone stated she was born in 1962) but she def looks 48!!!!
that disgusting, yikes, no woman should look like that. pff NO ONE should look like that…
Women are meant to have curves thats what makes you sexy, this is beyond sexy or even healthy!
she looks haggard!
She’s posing. The towel wrapped up to her chest is to hide her lower body, where if you look at the width of her hips, it looks as though her lower body isn’t as “scary skinny” as her upper. The way she’s holding her upper body is to make it look even thinner.
Not sure why she’s doing it, I’m just pretty sure that’s what she’s trying to do.
she’s anorexic.
She needs to drink whole milk (a gallon a day) and start squatting
I love Rachel after seeing her TV show and this makes me very sad. There is obviously a problem because this is so beyond “naturall thin” – is it an eating disorder, substance abuse, some kind of medical condition – cancer patient etc. Please get help Rachel!
I am mad at her husband – why doesn’t he do something to help her!! We should all be writing about him and his clearly co-dependency situation.
She looks like beef jerky.
shes obviously hiding her tummy and legs in order not to let anyone see how skinny they are, im sure if she showed them there would be a whole lot more negative comments regarding her figure. Shes obviously sick and needs to get some serious help; i know people who have a hyperthyroid and are a size zero even though they eat as much as they want, but they look healthy and not sick like zoe!
I think she’s standing that as a way to prop herself up
Despite her thinness she still needs a supportive bikini top, that one’s just not doing it. I do think she needs help, she doesn’t look like she’s naturally this thin. I hear she’s a really nice woman, I hope she does get well.
yeaaa…yea…that’s skinny!!
I hope her show isn’t picked up or is cancelled unless she gets help. One of the networks “fired” Tracy Gold when she was ill (Can’t remember the name of the sitcom she was on???)
And I still think she’s standing that way for lack of muscle. A person this thin, for whatever reason, has nothing to support their core which enables them to have proper posture. Its nearly impossible to stand for long periods of time.
wow,,scary skinny
looking horibal ,,
oh my gosh…this is definitely the skinniest she’s ever been.
i hope she gets well! i love her so much :[
Skinny peoples noses look bigger, than when they where heavier. It is not so bad with RZ because she has full face.
Hope she improves her health and gains sone. She would feel better.
If she really is close to age 50, her skin looks wonderful. Granted, these shots are from a distance and I would expect someone at her weight to have a very shoddy complexion. Anyway, she is far from looking womanly and/or good in the least. Probably needs medical attention.
I am going to have to disagree with well…everyone…and say she looks fine to me…I don’t have an ed, and the bones in my chest are similar, but im just boney on top. Not saying its the same case with her, but I just really don’t think she looks bad. She’s just…small…
@ TEE your brave to make that comment!!
WOW 228 POSTS!!!? that has to be a new record RIAN?
She was born in 1962. I read a biography article about her father in the LA Times and it stated that his daughter Rachel was born in 1962. She claims that she was born in 1971, but she is simply lying.
If you notice, they usually have the birthdate on Wiki, but she had hers removed.
Someone get this woman to a hospital before she collapses!
I’m sorry mas she looks really bad. it’s s pity because she could be a very attractive woman and she has great sense of style which is a major plus. But body-wise, she deserves a clear NO.
So sad
Wow. She needs help. Seriously.
she looks rediculous, its so sad that this is what what people aspire too! i would never ask her to be my stylist! if she is naturally like that (as she says!!) i feel really sorry for her!
i feel bad for her.
aaaghhh eeeeewwww
I would love to see what the rest of her body looks like under that blanket she is wearing.
what in the world. . . I’ve always believed that she had issues, as seen in her “raisin” face, but now that she revealed her body it’s very apparent. the woman needs help stat. it’s so sad that she has driven herself in such unhealthy extremes when she has a talented eye for fashion.
Taylor, I would put her BMI below that. The sadest part about this is Rachel Zoe probably thinks she looks good. Anorexia tends to skew reality.
Oh wow I would NEVER want her as my stylist. When she did Nicole she made her this skinny. She obviously thinks its the only attractive way to be in Hollywood. She needs to do some weights and eat lean meats.
For those of you who say “why isn’t her husband helping her”. An eating disorder doesn’t go away because someone who loves you just says “stop”. Do you really think you have the right to judge Roger (her husband) without knowing the situation? Maybe he HAS tried to get her help, maybe he’s doing 100% everything he can for her, but can’t bring himself to walk away as a consequence if she doesn’t get help.
I feel bad for her, and him and everyone who knows and loves her.
OMG! that is so sad.. does she have any family? she needs an intervention ASAP!!!
and the saddest part here, she’s probbaly hiding her stomach and legs because she probably thinks that they are FAT.. problems areas like most women. YIKES!!
typo- probably
Wow, that definitely isn’t healthy anymore…she looks awful!
I think I’ve never seen chestbones like that – except for on skeletons…
This is so sad. I hope she gets some help . She is not setting a good example for the fashion industry who has been listening to woman and have been wanting show more healthy models/ actresses.
OMG. I can offer that the skinny chest doesn’t ALWAYS mean unhealthy. I am a regular/slender body type but my chest is also skinny with a barely B cup.I look pretty boney in the chest area. In this case however, she looks underweight and very sick. I hope she is in treatment if she loves herself.
Her husband could help by doing an intervention.
There is nothing good about the way this woman looks. These photos remind me of the infamous Nicole Richie beach photos. She should take a hint from Nicole and gain a few pounds. Nicole used to look like this, but now she’s absolutely stunning.
I love RZ. I know she is self conscious she has said it on the show… she is also at an older age so there is less natural body fat to hide bone, and she hasn’t ever had any fat anyway.
I am just worried for her and I hope she takes care of herself… on the show she says she has vertigo and feels sick a lot. It’s obvious her body is crying out… positive thoughts to RZ, don’t leave us too early.
I’d always thought she was too thin, but the way she dresses gives the illusion that she is slightly healthier… but here it is very clear that she is not well. I think she is very ovbiously eating-disordered, and seriously needs help. The baggy clothing that she normally wears and the sarong she’s got hitched up to just below her chest are just attempts to hide how scary-skinny she is. Classic anorexic behaviour.
oh wow, she looks super unhealthy. her ribs really should not be showing like that.
